7th year left wing Troy Brodie(20) was part of a list of six players recently signed to an AHL contract by Norfolk Admirals, the new minor league affiliate of Anaheim Ducks.
He had a one-year, two-way deal with Anaheim last season but skated no NHL games.
In all, split half with the Ducks and one season picked up on waivers by Carolina Hurricanes, the 6’4″ 219 lbs. forward has skated in 107 games in the show registering 6 goals and 5 assists. He should be a bigger, more intimidating upfront power forward than his style indicates.
The 27-year was originally an Edmonton Oilers‘ 9th round pick in the 2003 draft (#278 overall).
He started his pro career with Stockton Thunder of the ECHL, put up some big numbers and that was his only stop there.
This will be an interesting year him. It’s his first without an NHL contract and he definitely has something to prove.
